MessageCollection: Acrylic Paint and More
I work on gessoed canvas and wood, incorporating unique elements, like sand, granite dust, wood powder, champagne chalk, marble flour, and even coffee to add texture and depth.
Following my intuition, I apply acrylic paint, pastels, pigments, ink and more with a variety of tools. Each painting evolves naturally, without a predefined plan, each layer diving deep into layers of consciousness. I paint to get my questions answered - and at the same time the paintings ask questions to me. Where do I want to go, what do I want to feel, what makes my heart sing.
With each layer, I cover up what doesn't feel right and emphasise what fascinates me. What wants to be expressed becomes gradually clearer, with each painting I come a little closer. Once I get stuck, I stop and do something completely different, I allow everything to sink in and only start again when the painting raises the next question.
